A 3D android model in VectorDraw Developer Framework.

VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) is a component to easily create and manage and print 2D and 3D drawings. VectorDraw objects expose methods and properties that are compatible with most common vector formats and other CAD objects. It supports over 10 vector formats and many raster formats. VectorDraw Developer Framework is fully object oriented, the component is written in .NET C# code. VectorDraw Developer Framework (VDF) version 6 engine is written from scratch, all geometric algorithms were re-written. An ActiveX component is also supplied. This ActiveX provides backward compatibility for older development platforms like Visual Basic 6.0 (VB 6) and Delphi. VectorDraw Developer for Compact Framework (CE Libraries) also included.
